Neck Warmer, Guido, Ape Drape, the Shag...it's all Mullet Madness.
Call it what
you will, but the name of choice for this god-forsaken mop that sits on one too many a person in the world is a Mullet. Everywhere you look, you’re bound to spot a Mullet. You've seen Jean-Claude Van Damme sport it, Billy Ray Cyrus and Ted Danson wearing it. It's even been on Jerry Springer! Men, women and children wear it. There's millions of variations for it, that i dare say no two mullets are exactly alike. And now you ask, What is a Mullet?
Mullet:
a) a hairstyle. Characteristics include
short and spiked along the top, short short on the sides,
and long and flowing down the back of the neck.(see figure 8)
Why are the Beastie Boys affiliated with the Mullet? We-ell, the b-boys wrote a song called "Mullet Head". Mike D was the first to use the phrase around Grand Royal. Grand Royal is now Mullet-mad, their phrase is "another day, another Mullet". To quote their explanation of their obsession with the Mullet,
We'd like to think that our obsession with the Mullet us a salut to the most entertaining manifestations of the everyday world, ie., a harmless conversion of other people's mundane human appearances into our own entertainment."
Canada, is home to millions of Mullets and Mullet Heads. I know this off personal experience. You’re more likely to find a Mullet here than you would find Eskimos, Mounties and beavers.
See, all my life, I’ve been surrounded by Mullets. I myself, even shamefully sported one for a day a few years back. It was for my sister’s wedding, and she told the hairdresser how she wanted me to look, and it was done. I was caught more than once with a pair of scissors in hand before the ceremony aiming to cut the long locks so that it would somewhat equal the length of the rest of my hair. I got compliments on it, and was even questioned from a veteran Mullet Head on the groom’s side of the family on how I keep it so nice and frizz free...My Mullet was gone before the sun came up the following day...
Coming soon...a voteing booth on who's got the best Mullet in show biz...
